Lt. Col. (Ret.) Allen West: Define the Enemy
Posted by Brian in Opinion, Threat Watch, Warriors on 8/May/2011 22:31
I am not sure when this speech was given but it was uploaded in Sept. 2009. Allen West is the only person I have seen who speaks plainly about the enemy we face. I value his opinion over any politician’s since he has been to both Iraq and Afghanistan and fought the enemy.
ITS Tactical Hosts Lone Star Medics’ Medicine X Class
Lone Star Medics put on its 2-Day Medicine X Class at Quail Creek Shooting Range this weekend. This “medicine under fire” class features classroom instruction and scenario based live-fire drills where students have the opportunity to put what they have learned into action under the stress of simulated real-world situations. The event was hosted by ITS Tactical and co-sponsored by Lone Star Amory and XS Sights.
Above, instructor Andrew Brady demonstrates one possible solution to a problem presented class participants. Your buddy “Randy” , seen prostrate in the background, has been injured during a violent robbery. What do you do?
After neutralizing the immediate threats, ITS Tactical’s Bryan Black drags Randy off the “X” and behind cover.
A momentary lapse in tactical awareness earns this student a penalty, a gunshot wound to his left calf. Now he has two patients, Randy and himself.
Books and videos are great tools for learning but nothing can replace hands on adrenalin-packed live training, And just as important as the getting-your-hands-dirty part is the critical eye of an experienced “been there” instructor and the after action debrief.
For more information on classes contact Caleb Causey at Lone Star Medics.

Navy SEAL Hero Dog Is Top Secret
From: Global Animal
Navy SEAL, Mike Forsythe, and his dog, Cara, recently broke the world record for "highest man/dog parachute deployment" by jumping from 30,100 feet. Both wear oxygen masks. (PHOTO: Rebecca Frankel)
… Like the fictional 007, the mysterious agent came in the dead of night, helped take out the world’s most notorious terrorist, and then melted back into the shadows alongside 79 two-footed comrades in arms.
In keeping with the rest of the SEAL Team Six that killed Osama bin Laden, the dog who reportedly accompanied the Seals on the mission remains shrouded in mystery, and surrounded by speculation.
Though 79 men snuck into Abbottabad, Pakistan, only two dozen of those soldiers slid down the ropes. According to The New York Times, a military working dog (MWD) was one of them, strapped onto an assault team member as he was lowered out of a Black Hawk helicopter.
The military is staying tight-lipped about the maverick dog’s identity, refusing to reveal even breed or gender. If the dog is a female, that would make her the one and only of the ‘fairer sex’ in the SEAL Team Six since the Navy SEALs is a men-only force.

Allen West: Define the Enemy: What it takes to win in Afghanistan
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 6/May/2011 00:07
“Is your operation enemy oriented or is your operation terrain oriented?”
“The first thing we fail to understand is that Afghanistan is not a war in and of itself. Neither was Iraq a war in and of itself.
We have a war against an Islamic, totalitarian enemy which is political, which is informational it is military and it is also economic.”
-Lt. Col. Allen West
Lt. Col. Allen West (US Army, Ret.) speaks to the Center for Security Policy’s National Security Group on Capital Hill. Col. West was a senior advisor, Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan, U.S. Central Command.
Military Working Dogs

ForeignPolicy.com has a weekly column on working dogs in the military written by Rebecca Frankel. This is a nice photo essay she did on war dogs. It is being reported that a dog was with the team that disposed of Osama bin Laden.
Carry The Load

“Trek for one hour.
Trek for 20 hours.
Just carry more than you have to, further than you think you can.
The purpose of Carry The Load is to honor and steer resources to, wounded or fallen officers, fire fighters and service men who “Carry the Load” for us daily.”
The true soldier:

Boeing Stealth Drone’s First Flight
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warriors on 4/May/2011 02:12
Boeing announced Tuesday that its stealthy killer drone — the “Phantom Ray†— had flown for the first time. The flight, from Edwards Air Force Base, California, lasted just 17 minutes.
The drone only reached 7,500 feet in altitude. But if these tests proceed as planned, the 36,500-pound, 36-foot-long drone will soar up to 40,000 feet and dash at nearly the speed of sound.
